U.S. Eliminates Canadian Wheat Tariff
WINNIPEG - Mar 1/06 - SNS -- Import duties on Canadian wheat have been fully eliminated following a February 24 order by U.S. Customs headquarters in Washington, D.C. notified all American ports of entry that imports of Canadian hard red spring wheat are no longer subject to any duties.
The notification means that Canada Western Red Spring (CARS) wheat can enter the U.S. without any requirement for a cash deposit or bond.
Removal of the tariffs resulted from a NAFTA appeal of the American tariff, which was imposed after the North Dakota Wheat Commission launched an anti-dumping, countervailing duty suit against Canadian wheat in 2002.
The NAFTA panel ruled that there was "no substantive evidence" to support the claims that led to the 14.2% tariff, which effectively halted Canadian exports to the United States.
